Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe settees in the public areas were stained and dirty and could do with being cleaned!
The location was excellent with a view of the Cathedral and it was within walking distance of the historic centre. There was car parking on site (paid for separately). The buffet breakfast was good and our dinner in the hotel was most enjoyable. The staff were helpful and attentive. The room was comfortable.

United KingdomBreakfast - I had to search for a waitress to bring tea/coffee, expected to be shown to table and offered beverages Shower projected water on to the floor, no way to prevent this. Lighting in bedroom rather gloomy.
Bed very comfortable and plenty of hot water in bathroom. Lovely large bath towels. Car park reasonably priced and very convenient.

United KingdomOn Saturdayvevening when we came back to the hotel we had to wait for about 15 minutes before the barman came to serve us. Once he arrived he was pleasant and efficient and very polite.
The breakfast was well organised with a wide choice of menu. We enjoyed the cereals, hot food and toast. Our room was large with a comfortable bed and the bathroom was clean with a good shower. The location was excellent for the Bailgate and Cathedral and everything was within easy and safe walking distance.

United KingdomThere was a strong, unpleasant chemical smell in the corridor (thankfully it didn't come into the room). We couldn't get the aircon unit to work (to be fair, we didn't ask for help with this).
The location was perfect for visiting the cathedral and castle. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom was clean with powerful shower and lovely big towels . Food for breakfast and dinner was very good quality and well presented. The staff we encountered were pleasant and friendly.

United KingdomTV wasn’t working properly, aside from the lovely lady at breakfast who couldn’t do enough, and Paige, every other member of staff we came across was either grumpy or Ill informed! Asked about room service breakfast when I checked in (which I had been advised could be done & a note left on my booking) receptionist just told me “well you have to ring down, which would be fine if there was any intimation in the room as to the number to call! Had to resort to phoning the hotel from my mobile

United KingdomNot sure that we were informed that there would be a charge for the parking until the moment we left, but may have missed this information. It wasn't a vast amount but came as a surprise.
Breakfast: Couldn't fault it, help yourself and was plentiful. Room: Unfortunately got a room next to the cleaning/linen store, so bit noisy with doors banging at 7.00 am! Otherwise quiet during night and very comfortable Location: Brilliant and perfect
